Civic EG

I am thinking of buying my friends Mugen Rep wheels they are 16" idk by what, and i test fitted them but the tire was way to big it rubbed like crazy (you can check on my thread for pics pg.5), so if i wanna run the 16" wheel what tire size should i look into buying? ill need small 16'' tires im trying not to roll my fenders if i HAVE to i will, thanks!

What size does he have on it now? I had 16s on my old coupe and I was running 215/40r16 Yokohama S. Drives they were great tires (A little pricey) and I had no issues with fitting them on the car and I was tucking the tire on Mugen knock offs. I can't seem to find any pictures of the car on my work PC.

Just say the pic's of the car with the wheels. You could use a wide variety of sizes. What is you plan ?
Slammed or Comfort ?
195/40-16
195/45-16
205/40-16
205/45-16
205/50-16
215/40-16
215/45-16

All depends on how low you are going to put the car.

205/40R16 is perfect for a 16x7 wheel. That will keep the overall diameter (and your speedometer) closest to stock.

Had 215/45/16 on my old hatch. Honestly on a hatch a prefer a 15" with a meaty tire. I run the 225/50/15 Mickey Thompson DOT radial now and I love the look of it, even on a coupe

the wheels i wanna buy have a 205/45 tire which rubbed really bad on my fenders i called all my local tire shops and none seem to have 195-40 16 tires used only 195-55-16 so i am wondering if ill be able to fit those without rolling my fenders or rubbing, im getting these wheels just for now cuz im tired of looking at my LS webs and i don't want to dig any deeper for money then i have to

205/40/16 should be ok.
i rubbed a bit when i had 205/40s...which lead me to a slight roll to clear.

now i upped them to 205/45s and they rub
im just gunna roll my fenders a bit more :]
